Also known as 'Basanth Utsav' and the 'Festival Of Colours', Holi signifies the victory of good over evil.
On the occasion of Holi, people meet and greet each other, visit the temples of Lord Shiva, prepare sweets at home, make an effort to forgive and forget, etc.
One of the main highlights of the Holi festival is the carnival of colours, where people throw powdered dyes and coloured water on each other, which is quite fun!
However, these dyes used during Holi may not be of good quality all the time and can contain certain toxins that can harm your health.
Here are some of the harmful side-effects of Holi colours.
1. Skin Allergy
Holi colours may contain a chemical known as chromium, which can irritate and inflame the skin tissues, causing rashes, boils and hive, immediately!
2. Eye Damage
Yet another chemical known as copper sulphate, which is found usually in the blue dye can damage your eyes, if it gets into them, causing redness, irritation, infections and even blindness!
3. Miscarriage
Pregnant women must be very careful during Holi, because, a chemical known as lead oxide may cause miscarriages, when the woman inhales or ingests the dye accidentally.
4. Skin Cancer
Yet another dangerous chemical known as aluminium bromide is a carcinogen that can lead to skin cancer, by mutating the cells of your skin.
